Our first time going and we had a great time working together through the puzzles. We didn't complete in the 60min time but Our host showed us where we would have gotten. Really fun way to spend a few hours with friends

What an awesome experience!!! We played the Pipeline works and this escape room is very different from our last. It will really test your teamwork at the same time your competitiveness. The puzzles were challenging and fun. We actually ran out of time but Steve was so kind and generous to let us finish the game. it was really an experience especially for our friends who did it first time. I would highly recommend UNLOCKED. Worth visiting! We traveled all the way from Pomona for that Steve also gave us a souvenir.

We played a very fun magic themed escape game here. The puzzles were logical and well thought out. The theme was incredibly well done. I had a blast! Highly recommend...especially for magic lovers.
Update (we played another game here):
We had SOOOOOO much fun playing Game On Arcade last night!!! I highly recommend it! Theres a ton of fun physical challenges in the mix with the puzzles, the theme was unique, the story had me invested because its relatable, and the use of tech in the game was creative. Go play it! Oh and it was challenging enough for the two of us that we only had 5 seconds

Grace was awesome! She was helpful and super friendly. The Magician room was fun and had a really cool twist that was trippy. Definitely want to try the Arcade one next.

We had such a great experience! The Game Master was awesome and created the initial excitement. The room was so much fun, we were players in a real live arcade game. We saw Pac Man planters in the Lobby that they created with 3d printing. the creations continued in the room. We had so much fun! Love the 80s theme.
